I have been slightly put off riding fixed for this event now after reading all this! I haven't even considered single speed, I would either be fixed or geared.
If you want to be a traditionalist and have a single cog then single speed, but when I did it a couples of years ago I was thankful to have gears to play around with. It's a nice event so embrace and enjoy the occasion rain or shine! :)
